yucks i screwed my xanga up );
sigh. yesterday's wedding made me go all wistful and misty-eyed. digressing a little, i actually feel pretty sad that all of us, cousins and relatives, are not bonded. we're all running our own lives and disregarding the family ties. we get together but we don't really interact. how sad is that. and i don't even have cousins my age, at least on my dad's side. all my cousins are married, the eldest ones even have kids that are half my age, or something. the youngest (excluding me and my brother) is about 22 years, has a girlfriend and i don't even know if he is working or still schooling. we just go our separate ways, never letting each other in about our lives, never even bothering to make the effort to.
so anyway, i realised only yesterday how cute my cousin is. heh. i think he's about 28. i don't know what he's working as though. he's quite a dashing sight, and he's really a nice person. the 22yearold one i talked about is his brother. also very handsome. ;D actually, i'm really proud of my family. they are all nice and friendly and warm people by nature. they won't dao you or anything and there's not much competition going on (since the age gaps are so vast anyway) and generally we don't feel uncomfortable in each other's presence.
in the morning was just the ceremony. held at their home. so close to heart. i saw the photos, they were really nice. i heard it costed them $1000 to for those shoots. woah. the bride looked really pretty. and dashing the bridegroom was (:
then at night there was the dinner at QianXi restaurant. at payar lebar. dad got lost since we all aren't familiar with the eastern side of singapore. arrived for a while before the thing begun. it started off with a presentation of how they got together and everything and their photos from their childhood. it was super heartwarming! then they came in. ahh loved her gown. she's from hongkong and she had her gowns brought in from there. i don't know if she speaks mandarin my cousin converses with her in cantonese anyway.
yeah so they did the champagne pouring into the cups and stuff and kissed (they had to kiss as long as we clapped! hoo!) while we enjoyed our 9course meal.
ahhhhhhhhhhh.
don't weddings just make you want to get married yourself? haha! |
